The defense argues the case is fatally delayed, with years of failed requests for critical evidence — including court-ordered disclosures — leaving them unable to mount a proper defense. Meanwhile, prosecutors insist they’ve been transparent, offering secure access to sensitive intercepts while claiming national security concerns prevent full disclosure. The court has paused its decision, weighing whether procedural delays have unfairly prejudiced the defense — a battle that could reshape how corruption cases are handled in South Africa.
